Parhelia [Parh-hee-lee-uh]-The meteorological name for sun dogs, is an atmospheric phenomenon that consists of one of two or more spots seen on opposite sides of the sun often accompanied by luminous arcs or halos around the sun that is created by light interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere.

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity”― John Muir, Our National Parks

Our Services…

Registered Massage Therapy

Tailored to your needs, a combination of therapeutic techniques including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue and relaxation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle non-invasive hands-on practice that works with the natural rhythms of the body’s fluid system. The body is encouraged to slow down, rest and access its own stillness so that it can heal and regenerate from states of discomfort, stress, illness or trauma.

This therapy can help your over-active nervous system to re-set itself so you can experience greater rest, peace, and wholeness. Instead of constantly running in “fight or flight” mode, you can slow down and relax in a way that supports self-repair and rejuvenation functions like sleep and digestion. This is particularly helpful in releasing trauma patterns and recovering from the daily stresses of living in the modern fast paced world.

As your nervous system relaxes and functions better, you may feel more at ease in every aspect of your life, work, body, and relationships.
